Belle

Sorry gave wrong information. (Blame the headache I was having) Yes, it was the Enchanted. I always want to say Enchantment for some reason. Yes a ship on another line has that name. When I said green lane, I meant the Elite lane. If you don't have the Medallion with you have to go to the blue lane. Blue lane is only line that carries your Medallion when you check in. . So lost perk of Elite line if don't want buy the Medallion.. Sorry for the mistakes Forgive me?.☺️

Was on the Enchantment the month of June. All card games had machines even the ones with just one deck. They said-ALL Princess ships will go to the machines. How soon this happens. who knows? Maybe Ruby will do it at dry dock when taking out the tables. This was told to me by a higher up. So me it's true but as you know things can always change. As Cruise Raider says some things have changed, starting with this cruise. Different ships have different dates when they start the changes, Ruby was the 15th of Aug. If you don't have the Medallion with you go to blue line even if Elite. Losing another perk. Still like Princess, will still sail with them but so many changes in every thing, it's not the Princess we knew and loved. The crew is still very good and of course some better then others.

I've been on since 8-5 everything was normal except they started the blue line early for those who didn't have their medallion. didn't matter if Elite, blue line for you. Now 8-15 everything started . I'm Elite called room service to change out bar--no charge Room service if use phone to order even if have PP charge $5, if use TV or App no charge but is that after the $14.99 charge, don't know. I used the phone, like to make changes so far no $5 charge (usually charges goes on in a minute) Have the plus package either she was wrong before or didn't charge me. New room service menu (old still on TV) no more Dip with chips, Chocolate chip cookies Don't know what else they have taken off. Dry dock, one thing their doing is taking the double table games away and adding more slot machines, that's where they make their money. All I heard was 2 weeks in Oregon. Can check by seeing when the next cruise starts. Panama Canal. Cruise Raider yes ship is moving differently then normal. Doesn't bother me but can feel it. Now going faster to make up time from yesterday. We were getting in late to Juneau than normal already. I hope the passenger is alright and getting better. Hard going with rain and fog. The ship is fine even if older. Least has Skywalker and a deck to walk around unlike the new ships. Service is good as usual. I think who ever comes on will have a good time, plus who can beat the beauty of Alaska?

Hello Everyone! Hope you all have a good weigh-in Thursday. Alaska is still beautiful, never can see to much of it.

SF Pier 27 Aug. 5th I'm Elite, didn't have Medallion had to go in blue line, said Elite line doesn't have Medallions. If have Medallion can go in Elite line. We've earned Elite line but they want their $10. But does it really matter because if you have PP and Medallion can go in Elite line. Also this was suppose to start Aug. 15th on the Ruby. Maybe only thing that was early. Didn't charge for room service.

Thank you solo. Better not great. This isn't me but still getting packed. As you know when not feeling well (know you've all had your problems) it takes you longer to get things done, always sitting down to rest. But I will make it! Good weight loss especially being away for the weekend. Your cruise will be here before you know it. Think Susan leaves this weekend for her cruise. I'm glad you had a good time on your date and enjoyed each other's company. Another date soon? Well bye ladies will try to keep in contact some but just want to relax, enjoy the sights and sounds. Not that I'm in a hurry to come home but when I do. New Floors! Yea! Take care everyone

Just don't book a cabin near the bow/front. The cabins are narrow only one-night stand. Try to book close to the elevator. Cabins normal.

Jan--So sorry you're still not feeling well. Still testing Positive. You must be bad--No Wine? I'm glad husband is feeling better and is going. Nice you had a loss should be more when you don't feel good and don't each much. Izena--Thank you for the sorry and the advice. Your right, getting old sucks. WE fall apart before our eyes. Next month a birthday and will be a year older. Yikes!!!! Nice you had a loss and went to the doc and got what you wanted. I thought I would have lost but no, stayed the same. Not fair when you don't eat much------ I know who said life was fair. Hope to see everyone else in here soon. Take care.

Is August the last month of summer adding in Labor Day Weekend a good or bad month for you losing weight? Are you really going to try to lose weight or be happy to stay the same. because there's lots of things going on that have--summer food and drink.? Sorry late in posting I have not been feeling well, a cold then hurt shoulder...(really painful) Was in bed for day and a half and I am supposed to leave Sat. for 40 days. I'm not ready, moving slowly. (I was slow getting ready to begin with thinking had the extra days) Feel a little better today so hope it means each day better, and not more pain after doing things like typing, getting stuff ready and packing, of course is right shoulder. I'm right-handed. OK enough whining from me. As I said before leaving Sat. for 40 days. The 1st 10 days won't have internet. but next 30 I should. So, I will come in off and on. So, if Izena if you would like to start on Thursday posts. that would be nice but if she can't, will someone please start it. Please think good thoughts for me that I feel better soon and enjoy my cruises. Of course, I wish the same for all of you, that you feel fine and enjoy whatever you do.

Jan sorry you're still not feeling well. Better I hope just not 100% How's your husband doing? Know you want to go for the family but don't want to expose them. Different states have certain rules. In Ca. have to take vision and written test. . Think their stricter. Think AZ they don't have to do anything, it was that way a few years back. Well, I passed the tests. Can drive for another 5 years.

Tuesday is here in a few hours. Hope your Monday went well. Tomorrow (Tuesday) have to take written test to renew my driver's license. So, use to renewing by mail and have to go in this time after many, many years. Always worry will I get the questions. right. Sometimes trick you with how there worded. Did you have a good weekend? Have a Good day everyone.

I wrote something last night--it's not here--floating in space? Izena--I'm glad you're feeling better. Yes, find a doc you like and cares. I know everything is about money no matter the job. Your special, you have a different look. If you think you look punk and others thought you did to--did it make for more fun. I hope it wasn't something. that made you sad. Solo--I love Alaska, I've gone so many times. It is beautiful. One of the places not getting ruined by building/people. (Well summer jewelry stores bu cruise lines but gone after summer) Back to normal. So much open space. Trees, waterfalls. Lucky you have thick hair (not the headaches) mine was but not as much now. Hair is funny, to me my hair is short because had it longer, someone else would say, your hair is long. Also, funny when we think we're having a bad hair day, that's when someone comes up out of the blue and says your hair looks so nice.😄 Everyone have a good week.

Hello to you this Sat. morning. Hope everyone is having a good day. Sol--o you had big loss, it's nice but not if you feel tired. Do what you think is best in eating. Know you'll look great in your dress. Alaska is so beautiful. Is this your 1st time or have been often? Jan--I hope you're feeling better and the med is helping> Your husband taking it to? Nice the kids are helping you. Nice you have a good ooss but to get it by being sick. Only thing it might come back when you eat and drink again. (Sorry had to say it) Susan-- Never be sorry you stayed the same means No Gains. Next Thursday my last weigh-in before I cruise too. Going to Alaska. Where are you going? Great you have pick of any clothes as they fit. Good Job! Izena--Hope you're feeling better. Hate it as we get older things can happen to us for no reason. You're not a nurse take your meds at least for a while. You want to feel good. Yes, take it easy, sorry your having trouble with your eating. You know you can do it. You've done so well. Me--I lost a 1lb. I'll take it. I've lost weight this year but trouble is its weight I lost before. Least not gaining at this time. Any lost weight is a loss in my book. Got my hair cut shorter yesterday, still long but shorter so of course feels too short to m till I get use to it. Another thing about getting older is your hair gets thinner on top Could do without that. Have brown hair, just a few grey hairs, never had to color. Seems like my friends all color their hair. People don't believe I don't color my hair. How about you, do you color? Today my daughter picked up my flooring for me in another town. Was on sale there. Saves me money that can use on all the extra stuff you need. Especially when have to pay labor. So, fingers crossed get my floors installed in Aug. while I'm gone. Don't have put up with the mess. My son will oversee. Everyone has a good weekend. Hope you all come in during the weekend and say Hi and say what you're doing, how you're eating is going and if any exercising is going on.

Then August weigh-ins begin Month after month we do it again But it's good for us we know and we won't do it with a frown Helps us to lose weight and keep our weight down Only thing I notice is that the months go faster and faster So really have to be good each week and be the master Seven months gone, before we know it will be next year So, have to get our minds and bodies in gear Know it's hard with cruises and holidays coming with lots of food But we're all smart in here and I know we all can be good So as your eating healthy--Smile And maybe some days walk a-- Mile.

Susan, I notice more passengers and employees wear masks in the casino. Main reason is the smoke especially if it's bad where you like to play cards or slots. Sorry for the employees who have to smell it every day/night. I'm glad Princess has no smoking at the tables, dealers are too.

Hello Jan and Izena Jan, I hope you're not feeling to bad. Hope you get the meds, Isn't it one your suppose to take in the first few days to help. I know that's not a of people getting sick (could be more you don't know about) for a big ship but to me it's still a lot. Know many don't wear masks or wash hands like they use to. Think it's over but guess what it will never be over. Like Noro will never be over. But at least people got shots and don't die like before. What's nice on a ship no one says anything if you wear one or if you don't wear one. Everyone can do what they want--hard part is deciding is-- do we want to wear one or not! Izena,I'm glad you got your friend moving, that was the best for her. Nice she has a scooter. Was so nice that you helped her with everything at the beginning and now. Yes. make sure your health comes first. All that smoke. Does the son get out of bed at all? Smoking in bed is not safe. Didn't know you cancelled cruises. I remember you were sick from the one cruise. I got sick on the May one, only 10 days, no mask but think it was a virus that was going around and people weren't doing the right things. Like washing hands, coughing the right way. Last cruise, flying cruising 21 days, was fine but wore a mask. Who knows what is right or wrong, know I won't stop cruising and just be careful day by day and enjoy myself. You two do the same--Enjoy our cruises and wish for the best that we stay healthy. Plus, we lose weight before each cruise.😊😊😊

The room is empty. Did everyone go away? Just hear my own voice (typing)!😊

Pac sorry, I didn't believe. Like your CVP, I never saw that before. You were in the right place, right time and the right person to have this done. You were lucky.

Hate to say this but anyone who said they only spent $20 and got an offer---- I wouldn't believe them.

JAN I'm so sorry you got sick. What ship was it? A 7 day? Did you wear your mask? Glad you had a good time with brother and wasn't sick on the cruise. Hope you feel better soon. Welcome Back. I still think wearing a mask helps. Did all the b2b's wearing a mask, didn't get sick. Then a 10 day, didn't wear a mask (Alaska), got sick. So, my last cruise 21-day Europe, people getting off and on every 7 days, wore mask--didn't get sick. You don't know what to do. Going to Alaska for 40 days, I feel I need to wear my mask with the few other passengers and crew that do to. Main thing I don't mind wearing one, even if one of a few. Will have to decide. Take it day by day. Now there's Noro too. Always something. Know all this is on land too but we can stay home, on a ship you're with people unless you hide. Won't hide but can wear a mask, wash hands with soap often.

Another day going by fast. Soon will be August. Are you going to lose some more weight by August 1st. How much?

Great that the other person gets their free play. The couples I talked to, didn't. Yes, I know if you book two rooms you can use both offers, two rooms free. Do know that the offers from casino when you're on doesn't have the PP offer anymore. Maybe some still get it if they spend "tons" of money. Don't really know.

I've been told by many couples that you can only use one offer per room. So, you book the free room with free play. Then your spouse can't take her/his free play. They all were very unhappy about it. I travel solo so I only get one offer. So, this is only what I've been told but haven't. had to deal with it.

In the casino the games I played on Enchanted last month were $5 but you played many spots on one game so really costing you more than $5 each time. I don't play Craps, but it always seemed busy when open. Sorry can't tell you the price. With it being busy I would think $5 or $10, just my opinion. Hope someone can tell you for sure.

Woolworth--- On your 32-night cruise you won't get an offer till the end of the 32 days like the night before the last day. On all b2b's no matter how long or short the off always comes at the end of it. They track your slots and table play but mainly the slots. Your told they track the whole cruise, in a way they do some, but really, they track the last cruise. So b2b's get cheated, we get the same as someone who did one cruise. Book b2b's because you want to not for a free cruise might not happen. Their getting tighter in what they give, no PP anymore. So, I like b2b's because I love them and just take what offer I get. I've been lucky so far mostly have been balconies. PS My son just went on his first Princess cruise, and he was told by casino staff he had to have 800 points a day to get a free room. Was on a seven day, he did it and at the end got a free balcony (not an inside, was surprised) and six hundred free play. Only thing giving you shorter times to use them now. If this is true on all ships (should be) but you know there are things that are different on all ships even being under Carnival Corp.
